Peugeot 106 brake question...
Discussion
I think it is high time that I change the discs pads and fluid on the 106.
I've done the pads and discs before so they really aren't a problem, but does anyone know how much of a PITA/how easy it is to change the fluid?
Do I need 3 hands to do this or will 2 be sufficient, what about those bleeding kits you can get, are they necessary? Or will the fluid flow down hill and bleed of its own accord?

If won't bleed of it's own accord although it does flow downhill!I've done the pads and discs before so they really aren't a problem, but does anyone know how much of a PITA/how easy it is to change the fluid?

Probably the easiest way is something like Gunson Eazibleed from Halfords. Uses 20psi from your spare tyre and will make the job a simple one man process.
I got these one way valve things from halfords, work really well for bleeding brakes. Not as easy as an eazibleed, but I've heard bad things about them....
Only disadvantage is you need to keep topping up the reservoir while bleeding.
Don't forget to do the caliper furthest from the master cylinder first, and put PLENTY of penetrating oil on the bleed nipples before you undo them!
Easy job by and large.
